Introduction

Type: BW Space

Youcan Robot's BW Space is the world's first intelligent tracking underwater drone. For the first time, Youcan Robot has applied image recognition and intelligent tracking technology to underwater robot products. It uses powerful motor algorithms, image recognition and interconnected information processing technology to track and photograph underwater target person and automatically adjust the lights according to the environment. Also, it supports underwater live sharing and provides 4K high-definition camera shooting at the depth of maximum 100 meters with 7-hour battery endurance. So it can be widely used in fields including underwater entertainment, photography, exploitation, fishing, survey, marine environmental protection and so on.

Important tips:

Control system upgrade: To continuously optimize the operative performance of BW Space, we will upgrade the control system of BW Space from time to time. When you open Youcan Dive APP, if the screen center slider prompts display the progression of upgrading, this indicates that the device or software is being upgraded, usually for a duration of about 1 minute. Do not quit from the upgrading. In case of failed upgrading, please exit the Youcan Dive, unplug the tether and reconnect and restart the upgrading.

Camera upgrade: Youcan Robot will upgrade the BW Space camera system from time to time. If a prompt pops up and requires a camera to upgrade when you enter Youcan Dive APP, BW Space will start downloading the latest camera system and upgrade it upon the user's confirmation. This process may take about 5 minutes. Please do not disconnect the device and keep Youcan Dive under operation in the upgrade.

When you first use the BW Space underwater drone, you will be prompted for depth calibration and machine calibration.

Note: When you are performing depth calibration and machine calibration, the drone's light will always blink, which is normal.
